Why no Actual Play Sub-Forum?

Or is that supposed to go under Adventurers? If so, we should change the description and encourage more AP posting!

No one's ever asked about it before...

But, I'd say Lone Star Lounge is the suitable place... I think I'll put the question before the moot.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is Actual Play defined as?

I've seen play-by-post, but never had any interest.

I've seen LARP, but all I got was some lousy T-shirts.

I've seen at the table, pencil-and-paper, dice rollin' play.

I run a Roll20 campaign of Mongoose Traveller: Fifth Frontier War.

But this is the first time I've seen that term, "Actual Play".

Someone educate a poor field correspondant?

Live from Serue (Knoellighz 1221), this is the Pakkrat.
 
I believe he is using the term 'Actual Play' to refer to something along the lines of a discussion or recap of your face-to-face games.
 
Yes, I get the impression he wants something like Dragonsfoot's "Campaign Journals" section - where you can post a running log of what is happening in a game you are actively running (or playing in) - even if no one else in your group is on Coti.
 
Yep. An Actual Play thread is a recap or "story summary" of your campaign either from a player's, a character's, a gm's or a narrator's perspective. AP threads are very popular and, IMO, help drum up interest and ideas. You get to see what other people are doing or not doing. It can spark rules discussions and other threads.

RPG.net's is pretty extensive.

I did one for a TNE adventure I ran and it is in the TNE section ( Early Fallen). Done from a GM perspective and useful to me at least as session notes!
